1.6.1 (2024-10-20)
The 1.6.x update comes with new UI and quality of life features. Top of the list are:
- Custom commands (e.g. Run Command feature) are now tracked in the operation log & supports long running jobs. This means backrest can be used for operations e.g. restic mount while you browse your repo, or to run check or prune with custom flags.
- Summary dashboard as the new homepage shows recent backup statuses and metrics.
- Built-in support for healthchecks.io notifications
- Linkable pages, you can now bookmark specific repo / plan views.
- Resizeable tree view allowing for focusing in on either the tree itself or details of the operation you currently have selected
- Under-the-hood: sqlite3 migration for operation storage improves performance for very large operation histories & improves maintainability.
This patch resolves an install failure for new users of backrest, and some minor UX issues.
